Chapter 15: The Death in Full Swing (14)

She thought it was just because of the heat, but Du's mother judged that she might have night sweats and called a doctor to see her. The doctor said it was okay and refused to prescribe medicine, but just let her recuperate. Time passed day by day, although she was already well, she was still anxious for her when she saw her mother-in-law, and she couldn't bear it. Whatever her mother asked her to eat, she ate obediently. I don't know if it's an illusion, it seems that I haven't looked in the mirror for many days, and when I look at it occasionally, I feel that I am a little fatter. The clothes they brought still fit well. It can be seen that she has not changed much these days.

She looked at Eryi again, still waiting there for a reply. He shook his hand at her and smiled.

Fortunately, there is the noise made by Eryi and Cersei, the older and younger children. Otherwise, the people who come in and out of here every day are afraid of touching her or something sad, and treat her carefully, she really can't stand it.

"Eight, you can get the cream cookies...... It's the kind you brought back from yesterday. Yamei looked up and said to Eryi. Er Yi went in in response, and Yamei said, "I see that you have been tired of eating dim sum recently." The cookies that the eighth child brought back yesterday were quite good. ”

"Eighth Sister is going to visit Wen Mo?" Jing Yi asked, looking forward.

Cersei was playing in the water by the pool, with her mother. The lotus flowers in the pool bloomed just right, and the water-red skirt and the water-red lotus flowers complemented each other, and she played happily and giggled.

"I said I was going to buy books, by the way." Yamei said.

Jingyi nodded.

She originally thought that Tao Xiang would go, and Er Yi would follow back first. Eryi insisted on staying. Accompany her every day, although she just chats with her in the morning and evening to relieve her boredom, and goes out to play as usual, but she also feels rare. I always feel that Eryi is young, lively, and fun-loving. Now it is more and more obvious that he is a teenager and an old man.

"Aunt Cheng should go back to Beiping in a few days, right?" Ya Mei asked.

Jingyi nodded.

"It's long overdue." She said. My aunt stayed for a while and returned to Shanghai with Flawless. After the agreement, the parents and aunt will return to Beiping from Shanghai together. The current return date is undecided, and it's all because of her.

"I heard that Uncle Cheng arrived yesterday. This time, Uncle Cheng's travel back and forth between Nanjing and Shanghai is quite hard. Yamei said, seeing that Eryi personally brought the coffee, she smiled and nodded, "You can do it quickly." ”

It is advisable to put down the coffee and cookies. Poured coffee for Yamei, she and Jingyi were both milk.

Jingyi took the cookies to soak in milk, and Er Yi said, "Brother Qi likes to eat like this...... I told Wen Mo that these two boxes of cookies belonged to me. Let's eat this box today, and take the other box back to Brother Seven. However, eighty percent of the children finally returned to the unicorn......"

"Eighth, give me milk." Ya Mei interrupted Eryi.

Er Yi handed the milk to Yamei while looking at Jingyi - the cookie was soft, half of it fell into the milk, and the remaining half was in his hand. She was a little overwhelmed like the half of the cookie - Er Yi changed her glass of milk and said, "It's so hot." ”

Jingyi nodded and said, "Isn't it?" ”

When there's nothing to talk about, weather is the best topic.

"Second sister-in-law, have you made plum wine?" Er Yi asked, "Wen Mo suddenly talked about green plum wine yesterday. He is much better and is ready to go back to Guilin to recuperate. I seem to remember that my second sister-in-law said that she would make plum wine this year. ”

"Yes. Not much, though. Give it all to Wen Mo. Yamei smiled, "I don't know if it's good or not, it's the first time I've lived in Nanjing for a long time, and I want to try everything." This is an experimental product, it doesn't taste good, don't scold me when you turn around. ”

"He, if you have wine, you like it. Leave an altar for the second brother, and let's bring an altar when we go back. Eryi spoke a little more carefully this time.

Ya Mei knows. She turned her head to look at Cersei, clapped her hands and shouted, "Cersei, come here!" ”

There were water beads splashed on his body, and he was sweating on his forehead when he ran over. came over, but instead of looking for Yamei, he had to squeeze into Jingyi's chair.

"On such a hot day, Cersei, you have to be very sad about your little aunt." Yamei wants to pull the sels.

Pouting, Jingyi wiped her little chin and smiled, "It's okay, I'm not hot." ”

Yamei watched her give Cerse milk - it's true, in this weather, they have to sweat when they move, but Jingyi doesn't seem to have this problem. At this time, under the parasol, Jing Yi's face looked much better than usual - Ya Mei only looked at Jing Yi, and was noticed by Jing Yi and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing watching me distracted?" ”

Yamei came back to her senses and said, "I'm wondering if it's okay to go out for Western food and movies at night?" It's not good to be bored at home all day. ”

"Second sister-in-law forgot, we have to choose a day to go to my mother's place for dinner, didn't you say that you should set a time?" Jingyi reminded Yamei.

She knew in her heart that her father had arrived yesterday, and it was logical that she should have gone to see her. The first two times her father didn't stay, and she was still sick, although it was a ready-made excuse, Yamei probably already sensed that something was wrong, and this time she didn't go, anyway, she couldn't say it.

"Ouch, I really forgot about it, look at my memory." Yamei was annoyed, thought for a while, and said, "How about tomorrow night?" Your second brother has a party tonight. I don't know what the important thing is. Aunt Cheng came over today, and I will talk to her...... Uncle Cheng was also too polite, and as soon as he arrived yesterday, he asked the third brother to tell Yuzhi to dine together in the evening. ”

Jingyi smiled.

Father and third brother are people who will not be rude in such a trivial matter. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she should be grateful to Tao Si's family for taking care of her...... But nominally, she is already a member of the Tao family.

"So let's go to the movies tonight? Shall I have a treat? Jingyi leaned against Sese.

Chow drank milk, and the side of his mouth was like a layer of white fluff, which looked interesting.

She kissed the apple face, and it was hot.

Somehow, I felt my heart soften...... Listening to Yamei say, "Tiger Girl, bring the newspaper, I'll see what movie there is today." ”

Er Yi didn't wait for the tiger girl to leave, so he reported a string of movies.

Yamei said with a smile: "I don't know if you are taking care of the sick these days, or what?" Let's get a feel for all of this first. ”

"I read the newspaper three or two times a day, and I don't have to memorize it, I just remember it." Er Yi said with a smile.

Yamei nodded at her, clearly not believing it, but she didn't expose it, but asked Jingyi: "Do you choose one?" ”

"Let's go see a foreign film. It's been a long time since I've watched a foreign language film. Jingyi said.

The three of them came and went discussing what to see, and someone outside said that Mrs. Cheng was here. Yamei hurriedly got up to greet her. Cersei likes the chubby Grandma Cheng very much, and when she heard that she was coming, she followed her mother as soon as she slipped away.

"Be careful, don't run." Jingyi slowed down, watching Chow run on her little fat legs, without looking back, a little anxious.

Er Yi said: "Seventh sister-in-law,

Mrs. Cheng came with Suo Yanlin's mother and daughter. They often come and go these days, and Yamei is a world friend, Yamei is refreshing and thirsty, and they are already a little familiar with each other. Duch came in and shouted hot. Jing Yi saw that her mother-in-law was wearing a cheongsam with wide sleeves and fragrant cloud yarn, and her round body was fatter than before, and she couldn't help but want to laugh. Jing Yi couldn't help but smile when she saw that Mrs. Suo really came with fragrant cloud yarn and butter diamond jewelry.

Mrs. Suo's mother and daughter are the best examples of excellent maintenance, they are both tall and well-built, and they are even more round...... Seeing Jingyi smiling, Du Shi said, "You girl, you're going to make fun of your mother again." ”

"Nothing. Mother is so good. Jingyi said.

Mrs. Suo also smiled and nodded at her, and said, "It's really good to dress like this, Miss Ten has good eyes." ”

Jing Yi said softly, "Where." ”

Du Shi looked at her and said, "It seems to be more beautiful than yesterday...... What's the matter with the red envelope on your neck? Yamei, do you have mosquitoes at home? ”

"Aunt Cheng, in summer, there are a lot of plants and trees in front of and behind this house, and there are mosquitoes. I can't stand the mosquitoes. Yamei was not polite to Du Shi and said with a smile.

Several people laughed, and Du Shi said with a straight face: "Then how can I rest assured that I put Jingyi here with you?" ”

"I've been here for so long, Aunt Cheng, it's too late to regret it now. Besides, your aunt, but I also said that I will pick it up when the time comes. When I picked it up, I was short of two pounds, and I had to complain. Look at my energetic idea of feeding Jingyi a little fatter, I'm afraid of you. Yamei smiled.

"My aunt is too busy to see the shadow." Du Shi frowned, and waved the fan in his hand, as if the mosquito was in front of him, "It's early, before the sun sets, you can light the mugwort." Xiao Shi is most afraid of mosquitoes...... This kid doesn't know how to attract mosquitoes. ”

"Mother, look at what you said." Jingyi was told by her mother-in-law, and couldn't help but scratch the red envelope on her neck.

"Don't catch it. scratched and left a scar, and when I turned around, I thought I had a scar, and if I didn't take you back, I would be even more down. Yamei simply joked as well.

Jingyi only felt that the place where she was bitten by mosquitoes was unbearable. She blushed and couldn't do anything about them.

Yan Lin looked at her embarrassment and said with a smile: "Muzhi can't come recently." Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have come to pick you up in person. ”

"I'll pick it up as soon as it's free." Yamei smiled.

Jing Yi was silent.

Recently, they talked about Tao Xiang in front of her, and they all had some scruples. Today, for some reason, he is always mentioned.

She vaguely knew that Tao Xiang was urgently transferred back to Lanzhou and it was related to the current situation. The bombing case of the No. 1 Women's Middle School was found to have been done by the Ma family. At the same time that the suspicion of Dunhuang was cleared, the grievances between the Northwest Army and the Ma family were also provoked again. No one told her this, and she didn't read the newspapers. But with her understanding of Tao Xiang and Lu Qi, whose father was miserably, there must be a fierce battle in the future. The Ma family is in a safe corner, and the truth is unknown, how long this battle will last and what the result will be is actually very important to Tao Xiang......

"Jingyi." Suo Yanlin called her softly.

"Third sister-in-law." Jingyi came back to her senses and found that only she and Suo Yanlin were left here, as well as the sorrow in her arms, "Mother, what about them?" ”

"The second sister-in-law took them to visit the basement. In fact, my mother is disgusted with the heat outside. Yan Lin smiled and teased.

Cersei has a good temperament, and she doesn't recognize life in the first place, but a woman like Suo Yanlin, who maintains the standard image of an elegant lady everywhere, rarely plays with children. At this time, Jingyi saw her dressed in an ivory lace dress, with a pearl chain hanging down on her chest, because of a strangely shaped pendant on the bead chain, made the shape of a diamond dolphin, and played with it in her hand for a while...... She couldn't help but smile too.

"Sometimes I also think, if there is a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Suo Yanlin sighed softly.

Cersei was tired of playing with dolphins, and began to be interested in Suo Yanlin's dress again.

This time, Jingyi asked Cersei not to move, but Yanlin didn't mind, so he simply took Cerse over and said, "Anyway, I only wear my clothes this time...... Don't wash it, don't be afraid. ”

Jingyi knew that she lived a luxurious life, and after marriage, she had reined in a lot, and she still didn't want to change her habit of dressing. She saw that Yanlin's performance today was a little strange, and she wanted to ask, but she felt inconvenient, so she had to ask: "Did my mother say when she would return to Beiping?" She was worried that her mother's return to Peking had been delayed because of her. When my aunt was here, I was already in a hurry to go back, because I got a letter from my eldest cousin, saying that my eldest cousin had just been tested and was pregnant...... "I'm already so neat here." If my mother is because of me, I'm a little ......," she said.

"It's not all for you." Yan Lin heard her say this, raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled. "My father also had something to do. He was in Shanghai a while ago, and he only came to meet his old friends here in the past few days. ”

Jingyi listened, speechless for a long time.

There are about a lot of old friends in my father's so-called meeting, who are old politicians in the former Peking government and have changed their faces to upstarts; I don't know how many upstarts are included...... If my father wanted to, he would always be left and right.

"Jingyi," Yan Lin called her again, "the second sister-in-law just said that you will come over for dinner together tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Jingyi nodded. Yamei said in front of Mrs. Suo that she always wanted to protect her mother's face, so she silently agreed. It's an inevitable ride. She wasn't afraid to eat this meal...... "I know." We'll be there on time tomorrow. ”

"My mother said I'll see. I know what you love to eat. Go back and have someone cook a few of your favorite dishes. Suo Yanlin looked happy.

Jingyi looked at her and felt that this was the moment when Suo Yan was really happy after coming here.

She looked at Yanlin silently, Yanlin was looked at by her, and finally said: "Jingyi, your eyes are really unbearable." ”

"How?" Jingyi asked.

Yan Lin lowered his eyes and said a little melancholy: "It seems to be able to speak." ”

Jingyi actually smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, are you pursuing me?" Once upon a time, those boys, whether it was a love letter or a chatter, always had to say, 'Your eyes seem to speak'...... Can't be taken seriously. ”

"If it rests on you, this sentence must be taken seriously...... I might go to the U.S. in the second half of the year. Yan Lin said.

"Travel?" Jing Yi's heart moved.

"It's not. Go for a thorough check-up. Yan Lin explained, "I don't know what the result is. ”

"It's going to be fine." Jingyi said. She didn't say what kind of inspection it was, but Jingyi understood a little.

"I hope so." Yan Lin didn't look up at her, just played with Cersei. "Jingyi, sometimes men are sad and don't understand when they get in the way of face. The more you care, the less likely you will be able to say it. You know what I mean? ”

Jing Yi looked at Yan Lin's delicate high bun on the back of her head, dotted with diamonds like stars and moons, dazzling and shining.

She didn't speak.

"You take good care of it. There is hope. Yan Lin raised his head and smiled at Jing Yi, "I often hope that one day my children will be around my knees." Although it is in front of you, I am afraid that saying this now will make you sad, and there is something wrong. But I, with you, can throw away those polite words. These are my heartfelt words. Child, if you don't want to give birth, a man like Tao Muzhi doesn't worry that someone is willing to give birth for him...... Of course, whether he is rare or not is another matter. ”

"Third sister-in-law......" Jingyi opened her mouth and smiled, "The third sister-in-law is alive and well is the tone of my mother." These words really don't look like the third sister-in-law said. ”

Yan Lin smiled and said: "I kindly told you, but you laughed at me for being full of feudal thoughts?" My words are based on the premise that everyone has a good relationship with each other, or at least has a good heart. If you really can't come, that's it. Although I was not baptized, I was in a church school when I was in school, and I always had some point of view and was converted to God. Children are angels, love will come, love can keep. ”

Jingyi really couldn't think of how she would deal with her third sister-in-law's words.

Yan Lin looked at her, reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said, "Mother, they are not here, so I dare to tell you this." Mother has been having trouble sleeping for a while, after all, because Aunt Wei is gone, and she also promised Aunt Wei to take care of you......"

Jingyi sniffed and nodded.

"The third young grandmother, young lady, the eldest lady wants you to come in and eat ice cream." Qiu Wei ran out.

As soon as Jingyi said okay, Cersei was already shouting and saying hurry up, little aunt, I'm going to eat ice cream...... Jingyi was pulled by her, trotting almost without touching her feet all the way, and went in, and sure enough, Du Shi and the others sat down in the living room, with a fan blowing overhead, and ice cream on the coffee table. Cersei was well-behaved, although she wanted to eat, she still stood aside and waited for the adults to distribute it to her - she took a spoon and gave it to Jingyi who was on the side first, Jingyi was about to open her mouth, but Du Shi glared at her and said, "I said that you should not be cold." ”

Jing Yi winked at Cersei, who unceremoniously shoved a large spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. Jingyi smiled and rubbed her forehead hair.

"Mother is really, she doesn't let people eat, and she lets people come in and watch." She said.

"Just take a look. After a while, how much can I not eat? Yes, look at me, there is one more thing, Jingyi, Hui'an will be here tomorrow. is getting married, and the family doesn't let her go out at will. I heard from my aunt that you were sick, and she always wanted to come and see you. Dushi said.

Jingyi was stunned for a moment before saying, "How troublesome." ”

"It's going to be a family soon, and besides, she's always been good with you." Toche smiled.

Jingyi was silent.

At this time, it was May, and in August, Hui'an and Zhishen were about to get married. This is also a matter of the blink of an eye.

I think she was at home at that time, taking Hui'an around to play, as if it was yesterday......

……

The next day, Tao Si's family of three, Jingyi and Er Yi came to Cheng Shiyun's mansion in Nanjing.

Except for Tao Si, everyone else is here for the first time. In order to show their gratitude to their master, they got out of the car early and entered the gate, but they came halfway through. He has a good memory, Cheng Yi is leading the way, and he doesn't need Cheng Yi's guidance, so he makes a guide for his wife and younger siblings.

Jingyi followed behind Tao Si and his wife, and admired it in his heart. Tao Si is indeed a person who is as careful as a hair, although he seems to be full of indifference most of the time, but he really knows it.

She didn't look at anything else, except for the two tall golden laurel trees in front of the house, which looked quite old and attracted her attention.

"It is said to be more than 300 years. I think I'm going to become a tree spirit. Tao Si said.

"In August, the fragrance of osmanthus will drift far away." Yamei also liked it and exclaimed, "Jingyi, I remember that there is a very old silver cinnamon in Yiyuan?" ”

Jingyi thought about it and nodded yes.

My father was born when the osmanthus flowers were fragrant. Every year to celebrate the birthday, it is in the blooming season of osmanthus flowers. At that time, when she was young, there was indeed such a laurel tree in the family, and her mother held her under the tree, and her father came over and took her over...... She has a memory, about three or four years old, but now she suddenly remembered that her father in this vague impression had a unique smell on his body, covered with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers...... Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's the smell of alcohol. Moreover, her father lifted her high, and she was able to reach the osmanthus with her small hands...... Pull it, and the osmanthus falls all over the placket.

She looked up at the laurel tree.

She is an adult, but the laurel tree seems to be taller......

She heard Tao Si and his wife calling Uncle Cheng and Chow to call Grandpa, and when she turned around, she saw her father and mother coming out. Behind him are Zhichen and Yanlin, Zhiluan and Hui'an, and Zhixin...... A lot of people were standing there, and it seemed to her that it was spectacular. The father also bent down to talk to Cersei, and his expression was quite pleasant.

"Father." She finally walked over and called out to her father.

Dear Drop Everyone,

So what, stop tomorrow for a day, and make up for it the day after tomorrow. :)
